Nissan Patrol ZD 30 engine number

Hi John, Good to see your name here finally, and also to see that Alan Mai did very well in the 2004 Outback Challenge. Regards Geoff Barby

There is a number on the passenger/front side of the head which is meant to be the same number that appears on the engine block. The head on my Patrol was replaced so there is a different number there now. I purchased the car second hand and registrated the car in Victoria. It was from the same dealer that had sold it new and they know it's history. I have moved to NSW and to get it registed they want to see the engine number that is on the Victorian rego papers. You would think Nissan could tell me where it is but they can't.

WHen I took mine to Vicroads from NSW, they had a book, in that book, they had the position of the engine #'s on each engine made.

The RTA doesnt have a similar thing?

Also another option is to go to a Nissan dealer and get them physically to SHOW you on a new 3.0...

They would have to know to register cars. Telling you front right or rear left etc is just lazy pricks.
